Chapter 245
Ella
Lucien looked positively adorable in his little suit. “Like a little Alpha in the making,” Lilith cooed, playing with his tiny socked feet.
I couldn’t contain the smile that spread across my face at the sight of them together. My mother and my son- two things I thought I would never have.
For a little while, I felt… happy. Maybe this wasn’t the life I thought I would have, but it was more than I could
have asked for. The curse certainly made life difficult, but if it weren’t for the curse, then there wouldn’t be a
life at all.
“I just can’t believe he’s naming Lucien his heir,” I said as I adjusted my hair in the mirror. It was pulled back neatly as usual, and I was wearing my typical gray uniform despite preparing for a banquet. “After what Sophia
said, I was so worried…”
“Sophia is a liar.” Lilith straightened, picking Lucien up, and handed him to me. He blew a bubble and made a
little sound of contentment as I settled him into my arms.
“Does that mean you trust Alexander instead?” I asked.
Lilith hesitated at that. Deciding who to trust completely felt like a fool’s game right now. There was still so
much uncertainty about everything, and I had no way of having a real heart–to–heart with Alexander to find out
more.
To Alexander, I was just the new Omega in the pack and his son’s nanny. The one time I’d tried to ask him a
personal question, he’d seen to it that I remembered my place.
Finally, Lilith smiled faintly and pinched my cheek. “Let’s just focus on what we know, hm? For example, Alexander is naming your son his heir. Lucien’s future will be set in stone tonight.”
The thought warmed me, even if it made everything feel more uncertain. Alexander still had no Luna to speak. of, and I couldn’t help but think back on my past with my father and stepmother. I hoped Lucien wouldn’t meet the same fate I had–being treated as lesser once a new spouse came into the picture.
But Lilith was right. We needed to focus on the present, on the positive. I might not have been the Luna of Ashclaw anymore, but at least I was by my son’s side. Not only that, but I was witnessing Alexander make him his heir tonight.

That was something, right?

I met Alexander outside the banquet hall at six o’clock sharp. In my past life, this was the moment I would have
walked down the stairs in my elegant ballgown and Alexander might have turned, eyes widening upon seeing
me look so radiant.
Now, when he turned, his gaze immediately went to Lucien.
